Crisis Intervention Team - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Grayling, MI.

A crisis event, such as a person struggling with the devastating consequences of a mental health disability such as alcoholism or drug addiction, calls for an intervention directed by professionals who can make sure they accept the treatment they need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Grayling is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and activates law enforcement, healthcare, and other concerned agencies as well as family members to help addicts in crisis. This starts with the training of healthcare providers, law enforcement officers, and other relevant team members in the community so they know how to react and effectively work together during such a crisis. There are education programs offered to educate law enforcement officers and 911 emergency operators for example, which involves 40 hours of training in supporting the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis, refining verbal de-escalation skills so that they can approach and handle the crisis without it becoming a potentially combative or antagonistic event, etc.

In many instances, Crisis Intervention Teams also help by way of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to appropriately respond to what is really meant to be a mental health episode and not a crime keeps individuals with mental health disorders out of jail and where they should be, in a hospital or treatment setting getting help. This also keeps people with mental health disorders out of prison where they will not be able to properly handle their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. In lieu of jail, individuals in crisis can receive behavioral therapies, counseling, medication and other mental health services to help them recover. This not only benefits the individual in crisis, but also the entire community because it costs more to incarcerate someone with a mental health disorder in prison than it does to treat them in an appropriate mental health recovery program.
